5 Claims. (Cl. 312221) This invention relates to a pedestal with lockingmeans, and more particularly to a pedestal having locking means of anature that will allow security information to be filed in the pedestaleven though it forms part of a desk.

Presently, in the United States, there are hundreds of companies doingGovernment contract work involving classified information. Existingsecurity regulations require that classified papers used by individualsbe kept in filing cabinets away from their desks. Usually the filingcabinets are four-drawer cabinets with a combination lock, each drawerbeing used by a separate person. This means that the combination to thecabinet is held by four people. Much time is wasted because the peopleinvolved must go from their desk to the filing cabinets, obtain thepapers, and return to their desks to Work. If they leave their desks,the classified papers must be returned to the cabinet which is locked atall times when not in actual use. Filing security information in alocked desk is not practical because presently available desks can beopened and reclosed, even when locked, without leaving tell-tale marks.

The present invention overcomes this problem by providing a deskdesigned to prevent surreptitious entry, i.e. entry of the pedestalwithout visible damage. The pedestal of this invention, which forms apart of the workers desk, thus makes it possible to keep classifiedpapers at the desk. Obviously, this has many advantages. One suchadvantage is that it eliminates the necessity for the worker tocontinuously walk between the filing cabinet and his desk. Anotheradvantage is that only one person need know the combination to aparticular pedestal, thus lessening the chance of a security leak. Thereis practically no chance of the project of one worker becoming confusedwith the project of another due to misfiling as is the case in thefour-drawer type cabinet. Thus, security leak investigations which aremerely the result of misfiling are practically eliminated by the presentinvention.

It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a desk with alockable pedestal wherein security information can safely be stored.

Another object of this invention is to provide a desk with a lockablepedestal which can be separated from the desk only by removing fastenerswhich are accessible only when the pedestal is unlocked.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal which iscompletely sealed even though it has been separated from the desk top.

Another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal which has duallatch bar controls, one on each side of the pedestal, for doubleprotection.

Still another object of this invention is to provide dual latch bars atthe rear of the pedestal, making it impossible to manipulate the latchbar by insertion of a blade between the drawer front and the pedestalside.

Yet another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal havingdual latch bars which are operated by bell cranks upon closing thedrawer, the bell cranks being positively interlocked with the latch barin such a manner that one cannot be sprung past the other.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal having alatch bar mechanism which positively interlocks with the bottom drawer,preventing opening of the bottom drawer unless the top drawer isunlocked.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal with alocking mechanism which automatically opens the top drawer a certaindegree when unlocked to provide visual indication that the pedestal isunlocked.

Another object of this invention is to provide the edges of the topdrawer with reflective, luminous paint to make it easier to detect anunlocked drawer.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a locking pedestalwith mechanism which prevents closing of the bottom drawer if the topdrawer is locked, thereby indicating that the pedestal is not secure.

Another object of this invention is to provide a pedestal with lockingmeans whereby the bolt of the lock cannot be jammed by inserting a bladebetween the top edge of the front of the drawer and the top of thepedestal.

These and other objects and advantages of this invention will becomemore apparent upon reading the following specification in conjunctionwith the accompanying drawings.

Basically, this invention is concerned with a pedestal havingtamperproof locking means. The pedestal includes a frame which iscompletely enclosed by a casing or housing. The front of the pedestal isprovided with openings which slidably receive in a conventional manner alower and upper drawer. A special bracket is fixed to the casing and theframe adjacent the back of the pedestal. The bracket straddles a flangewhich forms a part of the desk top. The bracket can only be connected tothe flange by lifting the pedestal up and moving it backwards intoengagement with the flange. A bracket is also fixed to the front of thepedestal and engages a cross brace formed on the top. The cross brace ofthe top is tapped and receives fasteners which are located within thepedestal. Thus, to gain access to the fasteners, the top drawer of thepedestal must be opened. Furthermore, to remove the pedestal from thetop, the fasteners must be removed so that the pedestal can moveforwardly and downwardly to disengage the back bracket from the topflange. The top drawer has a combination lock which includes a lockingbolt. The locking bolt moves behind a lock rib which is fastened to thecasing and frame. The lock rib extends the entire distance across thefront of the pedestal, preventing the possibility of inserting a knifeor similar instrument which might be utilized to jam' the locking boltand thus. permit opening of the drawer. Vertical latch hanger membersare fixed to the frame on each side of the drawer adjacent the rear ofthe pedestal. The latch hangers act as guide members for latchbars whichare slidable therein. The latch bars have hook members fixed to thebottom ends thereof. The bottom drawer has a latch loop on each sidethereof which receive the hooks. The lower drawer is thus positivelylatched into position by the latch bar and hooks. The latch bars areoperated by bell cranks which are pivotally secured to the latch hangermembers. The bell cranks c aser? have connections with leg members whichare fixed to the latch bars. The bell cranks also have operator fingerswhich are engaged by catches that are fixed to opposite sides of theupper drawer when the drawer is closed. The bell cranks are rotated,drawing the latch bars upwardly and thereby bringing the hooks intoengagement with the latch loops. The catches carried by the upper draweroverlap the operator fingers on the bell crank so that the memberscannot be sprung apart by an instrument inserted between the drawer andthe pedestal casing. Springs are connected to the pedestal frame and tothe leg members on the latch bars. The springs constantly urge the bellcrank to rotate in a manner so as to open the top drawer if it is notlocked. This provides a visual aid for indicating that the pedestal isnot locked. Reflective, luminous material may be applied to the edges ofthe drawer to enhance the visual indication that the drawer is notlocked. The latch bars and hooks are arranged so that the lower drawercannot be closed when the top drawer is closed. Thus, it is impossibleto lock the top drawer without also latching the bottom drawer ornoticing that it is open.

In the drawings, the pedestal assembly is designated generally as 10.The pedestal assembly includes the frame 12, the casing 20, the latchingmechanism 35 and 35a, the upper drawer 55 and the desk top 75.

Referring now more specifically to the details of the invention, theframe 12 is best shown in FIG. 2.

The frame 12 is a generally parallelepipedic structure having uprightmembers 13, horizontal members 15 and cross members 17 which areinterconnected to form a rigid frame structure. Rivets may be used toconnect together the frame members, or they may be welded together orfastened together in some other conventional manner.

The frame 12 is enclosed with a casing 20. The casing is formed fromsheet metal and is attached to the frame by conventional means such asspot welding. The casing top is designated as 22 and its bottom as 21.The front of the casing 20 is provided with opening 28 for an upperdrawer and a lower drawer.

' Fixed to the top 22 of frame 12, adjacent the front, is a frontattachment bracket 23. The front attachment bracket 23 is of a Z-bardesign as best illustrated in FIG. 3. The portion of the frontattachment bracket 23 which projects above top 22 but is paralleltherewith is provided with a pair of spaced apertures 34. Theseapertures are adapted to receive fasteners to be explained more fullyhereinafter.

The rear attachment bracket 24 is connected to the desk top and frameadjacent the back of the pedestal. The rear attachment bracket 24consists of a pair of Z-bars 25 and 26. The Z-bar 25 is superimposedupon the Z-bar 26, providing a space between the portions which overliethe pedestal top 22. A depending flange from the table top is adapted tobe received between the Z-bars 25 and 26 which straddle the flange asbest shown in FIG. 3. The purpose for this will be explained more fullyhereinafter.

Fixed to the bottom surface of top 22 and the frame 12 is a lock rib 27.The lock rib 27 is a generally L- shaped member which is locatedimmediately adjacent the drawer opening 28. The long leg of the memberis secured to the top and frame, and the short leg of the memberprojects downwardly into the drawer opening. The long leg of the lockrib is provided with apertures 32 (FIG. 7) which are aligned with theapertures 34 in bracket 22. The apertures 32 receive fasteners utilizedto connect the pedestal to the desk top. The short leg of lock rib 27receives behind it the locking bolt which forms a part of thecombination lock carried by the upper drawer. The lock rib 27 extendsacross the entire width of the upper drawer and pedestal to prevent aknife blade or similar instrument from being inserted between the it topedge of the upper drawer and the pedestal to jam open the locking bolt.

Latching mechanism 35 and 35a is fixed to the frame 12 on opposite sidesand adjacent the back of the pedestal as best shown in FIG. 2. Since thelatching mechanism 35a is a mirror image of the latching mechanism 35,only the latching mechanism 35 will be explained in detail. FIGS. 3, 4and 5 best illustrate the details of the latching mechanism 35.

The latching mechanism 35 includes a latch hanger 36. The latch hanger36 is a generally U-shaped member having a channel portion 37 and armportions 38 and 39 which extend transversely in opposite directions fromthe channel portion. The latch hanger 36 is fixed to the horizontalframe members 15 by means such as rivets. The arm 39 is also riveted tothe horizontal frame members 15. The channel portion 37 faces theinterior of the pedestal. The latch hanger 36 is of a length such thatit extends substantially the entire distance between the top and bottomof the pedestal.

A latch bar is slidably received in the channel 37. A latch hook 46 isformed on lower end of the latch bar 45. The hook 46, when in theunlatched position, rests against a horizontal frame member 15 as bestshown in EH33. 3 and 4. Fixed to the latch bar 45 adjacent the top endis a leg 47 having a foot portion 48 which extends transverselytherefrom. The foot 48 projects toward the interior of the pedestal. Theend of the foot is turned upwardly to form a toe 49 which is parallelwith the leg, but spaced toward the interior of the pedestal therefrom.

A bell crank 45 is pivotally connected to the arm 39 by pin 43 locatedadjacent the top of the latch hanger 36. The bell crank 40 has anactuator slot 42 which has a sliding connection with the foot 48. Thisis located at one end of the bell crank. At the other end of the bellcrank is formed an operator finger 41. The finger 41 projectstransversely from the bell crank toward the interior of the pedestal.The operator finger 41 has a notch 44 which faces the front of thepedestal. The purpose for this will be explained more fully hereinafter.

A bell crank return spring 50 is connected to a horizontal frame member15 and to the foot 48 of latch bar 45. The return spring 5%) is of thetension type and constantly urges the latch bar downwardly or to anunlatched position, and also rotates the bell crank which is connectedtherewith.

The pedestal has an upper drawer which is of conventional design. Drawerfront 56 is provided with a combination lock 57 (FIG. 7) having alocking bolt 58. The locking bolt 5%, when extended by the lockmechanism, assumes the position behind the lock rib 27 as best shown inFIG. 7.

The upper drawer 55 has a catch 59 fixed to the side thereof. The catch59 is a Z shaped member when viewed in plan. A portion of the catch thusprojects outwardly from the side of the upper drawer and toward the backof the pedestal. This portion of the catch fits within the notch 44formed in the operator finger 41. The catch 59 is thus in overlappinginterengagement with operator finger 41 (FIG. 4). The catch 59 islocated on the upper drawer 55 in a position such that as the drawer isclosed the catch engages the operator finger and rotates the bell crank.When the drawer is fully closed the bell crank has been rotated to aposition wherein it has lifted the latch bar into the latching position.If the upper drawer 55 is then not locked by the positioning of thelatching bolt 58 behind the lock rib 27, the spring 5i will rotate thebell crank against the weight of the drawer and maintain it in the openposition as shown in FIG. 8. Thus, if the drawer is not locked, it isforced ajar, giving a visual indication that the pedestal is notsecured.

Luminous material 62 (FIG. 8) is fixed to the side edges of the upperdrawer adjacent the front 56. The material 62 may be in the form of apaint, strip, or any other conventional form. Since the top drawer isheld ajar when not locked, the material 62 will show providing astriking visual indication that the pedestal is not locked.

The lower drawer 65 is also of conventional design. The sides of thedrawer are provided with a latch loop 67. The latch loop 67 ispositioned on the drawer sides such that when the drawer is closed it isaligned with the hook 46 on latch bar 45 and the simliar structure oflatch mechanism 35a. When the latch bar 45 is raised, the hook entersthe loop and thereby positively latches the lower drawer in the closedposition.

The pedestal forms a part of the desk 70. The desk 70 also includes thedesk top 75.

The desk top 75 has an anchor flange 76 which is fixed to the topadjacent one end thereof. The anchor flange 76 is a generally L-shapedmember and depends downwardly and faces toward the interior of the desktop. The anchor flange 76 cooperates with the bracket 24 to fix the topto the pedestal. An anchor cross brace 77 is also formed on the bottomof the desk top. The cross brace 77 is in parallel alignment with theanchor flange 76 but is positioned adjacent the opposite edge of thedesk top 75. The anchor cross brace 77 is provided with threadedapertures 78 which are alignable with the apertures 34 in frontattachment bracket 23. The threaded apertures 78 receive stud fasteners72 and 73, best shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. The stud fasteners 72 and 73 areutilized as one connection means for joining the desk top to thepedestal.

Operation The desk top 75 is fixed to the pedestal 10 in a manner suchthat the pedestal cannot be removed from the desk top unless the studfasteners 72 and 73 are first removed. Since the heads of thesefasteners are located inside the pedestal, it is impossible to gainaccess to the stud fasteners unless the upper drawer is open. The rearattachment bracket 24 straddles the anchor flange 76, as shown in FIGS.3 and 6. To connect the rear attachment bracket to the anchor flange 76in this manner, it is necessary to move the pedestal relative to the topor vice versa. Thus, it is also necessary to move the top or pedestalrelative to each other to disengage these members. This is impossibleunless the stud fasteners 72 and 73 are loosened from the anchor crossbrace 77. Thus, the desk top 75 cannot be removed from the pedestal 10by merely loosening the stud which conventionally connect the pedestalto the top. This is an important feature which prevents surreptitiousentry into the pedestal.

In the description of the latching mechanism as in the operation, onlythe latch assembly 35 is explained in detail. However, it is to beunderstood that a latch assembly 35a (FIG. 2) operates simultaneouslywith the latch assembly 35. Thus, there is a dual latching mechanism fordouble safety.

The pedestal is made secure by first closing the lower drawer. If forany reason the upper drawer should be locked when the lower drawer isopen, the lower drawer cannot be closed. This is true since the hook 46of the latch bar will be lifted into the path of travel of the latchloop 67. The latch loop 67 will abut the hook 46, preventing closing ofthe lower drawer. If the upper drawer is open, the hook 46 will be downand allow the drawer to close.

The upper drawer is then pushed to the closed position. As the drawer isbeing closed, the catch 59 engages the operator finger 41 and rotatesthe bell crank in a clockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 3. As thebell crank 40 rotates, it carries with it the foot 48 of leg 47 which isfixed to the latch bar 45. The latch bar 45 is thus lifted, and as itlifts, the hook 46 is threaded into the latch loop 67 on lower drawer65, thus latching the lower drawer closed. When the drawer is fullyclosed, the latching bolt 58 moves behind the lock rib 27, positivelylocking the upper drawer in the closed position.

If the upper drawer is not positively locked in the closed position, thespring will cause the bell crank 40 to rotate in a counterclockwisedirection as viewed in FIG. 3. Due to the association of the operatorfinger 41 with the catch 59, the drawer will be opened and remain ajar,providing a ready visual indication that the pedesal is not locked.

The luminous material placed on the edge of the upper drawer furtherdraws attention to the fact that the drawer is not secure.

Since the lock rib 27 extends across the entire width of the pedestal,it is impossible to jam down the locking bolt 58 by inserting aninstrument between the top edge of the drawer front 56 and the pedestaltop 22.

Also, due to the overlapping arrangement of the catches with theoperator fingers, it is impossible to separate the members by insertingan instrument between the side edge of the upper drawer and thepedestal. The same reasoning applies to separating the bell crank fromthe leg 47 since the toe 49 overlies the bell crank 46, as best shown inFIGS. 3 and 4. Since there are two latching assemblies, one on each sideof the drawer, it would further be necessary to insert instrumentssimultaneously on each side of the drawer to attempt to separate thecatches from the operator fingers or the bell cranks from the legs. Thiswould be an extremely difficult operation for a single individualseeking surreptitious entry to the pedestal.

It is also impossible to insert an instrument between the side edge ofthe lower drawer and the pedestal and separate the hook 46 from thelatch loop 67. This mechanism is also dual, thus requiring one seekingentry to the pedestal to simultaneously insert instruments on each sideof the lower drawer to attempt to gain entry in this man ner.

While a preferred embodiment of this invention has been described, itwill be understood that modifications and improvements may be madethereto. Such of these modifications and improvements as incorporate theprinciples of this invention are to be considered as included in thehereinafter appended claims unless these claims by their languageexpressly state otherwise.
